I'd like to go home, at least for a while, but now they're not letting residents in.

Samples of the mess those of us comparitively fortunate enough to be in neighborhoods not completely destroyed will come back to:

Now they're saying it may be months before my part of town has sanitary running water?!@

As news comes in from New Orleans, word of aquaintances who didn't make it. *sigh* We knew it would just be a matter of time.

In "Our Government in Action" news, Fiasco with donated food from the UK; much reportedly wound up being burnt; meanwhile FEMA sends trucks of ice for Katrina victims to Maine.

We have running water at our house, but it is not safe to drink. Debris removal trucks run the roads from dawn until dusk, sometimes trapping us in (or out). We cannot use our toilets and the neighborhood is ringed with concertina wire. The Coast has gone from being a halfway pretty and fun place to live to a desolate and barren land. It is like living in an episode of The Twilight Zone.
